In the Footsteps of Knight Ywein: Family Hike to Rodenegg Castle

The Ywein Trail is a family-friendly themed path in Rodeneck that takes young and old on a journey through the story of Knight Ywein. The trail is stroller-accessible and follows a gentle path through an enchanted forest directly to the impressive Rodenegg Castle. Along the way, you’ll encounter magic stones and story panels that bring Ywein’s adventures to life in a playful and engaging manner.

At Rodenegg Castle, you’ll discover a special highlight: the Ywein Frescoes. These remarkable Romanesque wall paintings are the oldest secular artworks in the German-speaking world, illustrating the dramatic tale of Knight Ywein in an artistic way. Check the castle's opening hours to ensure you can view the frescoes during your visit.

Walking time: approx. 30 minutes
